Reviews

[The] book is a valuable addition ... Nigam’s exhaustive discussion of the academic work of his predecessors and contemporaries, and his genuine attempts to bridge the gap in existing scholarship in encouraging doing theory in the global South, are a sure way to draw critical attention and appreciation among scholars of postcolonialism. * South Asia Research *
